Lite Beer Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 PAD sets three conditions for rallying The Nation BANGKOK: -- The People's Alliance for Democracy on Wednesday outlined its three conditions to organise street protests. For the first two conditions, the PAD-led rallies will take place if a law is enacted to lessen the royal power and if a law is passed to whitewash the conviction and punishment of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra. On the third and final condition, the yellow shirts will descend on the streets if the PAD deems it necessary to spearhead the political reforms. "The PAD will not rally against the charter change because any attempts to tear-up the Constitution could be blocked via the judicial process," PAD spokesman Panthep Pourpongpan said. Of the three conditions, the amnesty for Thaksin would be most critical at this juncture. -- The Nation 2012-06-06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai at Heart Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I really do wish they would stop dragging the highest institution into the discussion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post marquess Posted June 6, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2012 I most certainly agree with them about the white washing of Thaksin's crimes, someone has to stand up to Pua Thai''s totally unfair and biased approach towards their pay master. One would have thought there were no real problems to be solved or attempted to be solved in the country apart from pandering to the interests of an extremely corrupt billionaire and his whole nepotistic nest of vipers. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buchholz Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Of the three conditions, the amnesty for Thaksin would be most critical at this juncture. In essence, they've returned to their priority of 2005. It was also the source of their greatest appeal. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
givenall Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Most of Thai People are ignorant when come to the RED shirt politic. So I am glad someone is watching these people before run the country to bankruptcy. And for what for Mr T’s benefit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noitom Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 The three conditions are confusing and unintelligible considering the English language as well as the fact that they are supposedly being dictated by PAD. Why would PAD be "setting conditions" for public rallies? Maybe if the headline stated "PAD sets three conditions for "peaceful" rallies by them", it would make more sense. But even then, in this case, conditions one and two are incongruous with PAD. The third condition is entirely unintelligible under any circumstances and regardless of who is stating it.

visionchaser45 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 So basically; "we will rally if we feel like it...." It doesn't matter because their rallies are getting pathetically smaller and smaller. The PAD is no longer relevant, even to many of its previous supporters. They need to dry up and blow away before they end up receiving a real a$$ kicking.

In reanalyzing the article, I can interpret it differently and it's not as confusing as originally suggested. Sorry for taking up anyone's time.

Buchholz Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 It doesn't matter because their rallies are getting pathetically smaller and smaller. Perhaps that's partly their reason for returning to their earlier priority when rallies were anything but small. It's at least partly responsible for why Thaksin has continually pushed for his return and then backed-off, pushed and backed-off for the past several years. The PAD is no longer relevant, even to many of its previous supporters. They are certainly relevant in the context of Thaksin attempting to return unscathed and enriched on the latest of his efforts to do so. That sort of action by him and the closer he gets to achieving his goals would undoubtedly have many of its previous supporters returning the . They need to dry up and blow away before they end up receiving a real a$$ kicking. Nice threat, but they've already received many " a$$ kickings" courtesy of Sae Daeng. .
